. (Associated Press Report.)
London .February 3. In Introducing the
naval estimates In th. bouse of com-
mons today Earnest G. Prettyman sec-
retary to 'the admiralty Justified the In-
crease In th. 4jitlmate on 'the ground
that "two powers standard" must
be maintained. The Russian battleship
program u well a. the program of tb.
other friendly naval powers had been
taken Into consideration in framing th
estimates Russia and France together
bad built or were building sixty-four first
ana second class oattiesrup walks in
British total wu sixty-three battleships.'
So. Great Britain wu close up. to the
tw. power standard.
In considering the cruiser program con
tinued Secretary Prettyman. the govern-
ment wu not governed by this standard
but by the Immense preponderance of
their sea-born commerce. While re-
gretting th. increased exnenditure the ad
miralty regarded It u being Insurance.
i ne secretary conciuoea oy saying mar
despite the heavy estimate the navai
policy of Great Britain wu purely de-
fensive. Recent events In the Far East
showed the necessity for preparedness to
strike th. first blow and so obtain In-
calculable advantage. Th. greatest pow-
er for peace throughout Ui. world h.
added wu the British navy which wu
also ths most powerful Instrument ot war
in the world.
In the course of hi speech Secretary
Prettyman referring to th. great im-
provement in shooting In the British
navy instanced th. British armored-
cruiser Lvlathan while steaming at
twelve knots fired ten rounds from her
I I Inch gun. in two minute and hit
a 14 by Si foot target ten times at a
ring of 3m yards.
The debate wu Initiated by J. N. Rob-
erts liberal who moved ft resolution call-
ing on the government to communicate
with other great power and ascertain
whether they are willing to diminish their
relative naval strength on ft permanent
basis.
Mr. Arnold Forster secretary of war
as a member of the defense committee.
(aald h. wu of the opinion that his ma
jesty s government hsd don. enougn in
the direction of the proposal to the con-
tinental governments for a reduction of
armaments. The government was pre-
pared to consider proposals from any for-
eign government for a reduction of naval
armament but Great Britain's' naval
strength .wu . a vital necessity. There
wu not a single country of Europe which

CORBETT WON
Given Decision Over Dare Sullivan
In Tenth Round.
SULUVAN OUTFOUGHT
Cotbett Had Best of It from the
First Sullivan Was Saved a
Knock-Out by Referee.
(Associated Pres. Resort.)
Ban Franclsoo. Cal.. February ft No
two pugilist ever soured more confi-
dent than did Toung Corbett and Dart
Sullivan before- th besinnlng of their
glov. contest at th Mechanics pavilion
tonight. Whll. not admittlnk tb pout.
Willy of defeat Corbett did not under-
estimate hi opponent' ability. He de
clarers ha expected th hardest battls of
his life with th. exoentlon of bis sue-
cesstul bouu with Terry ' McOovern.
Therefore he trained with great care for
the fight. Sosaklnc-of Sullivan 1: said:
"He has many recommendation u a
fighter. In the first class he nu Uv-
ernesa. That Quality la backed lip by
extremely tin. speed and the power to
tak. more punishment than any man In
his clus with the noulhia axcentloa of
.Kid Broad."
Corbett denied emphatically the story
that h. bad surrendered th till of
featherweight chamDlonshlp to Aba A tell.
Sullivan made th fight much cuter
than Corbett. who I. a-" larger man..
Though fighting at ISO pounds Corbett
had to Indulge in th "drying out" pro-
ops today which t. weakening to some
extent- Sullivan drank what he wanted
this morning and entered tue ring as fit
as hs ever was H said In advanc of th
fight that he was Corbett s equal If not
superior he thought he was equally clev-
er nd that he could Bt.nd puulshment.
Under the. circumstances A. hoped to
win. .
Th. fight did not orov th. attraction
expected by th Vosemlte Athletic elub.
The general belief among th. sporting!
element that Sullivan would prove an
easy victim for th champion had Its ef
fect on the attendance wnicn was oeiow
th. average. Corbett ruled fnvorlt.
at the ringside with odds of I to 1 in his
favor. Sullivan Is renorted to have wa-
Snred KOO against 11600 that he would be
eclared th victor. Eddie Gran eg acted
.u refer. .
10: :1s n. m. Corbett was th rgt to
.merg. from his dressing room. Sullivan
entered the ring a minute or so later.

Ban Francisco February 29. Champion
Featherweight "Toung Corbett' had no
difficulty In retaining hi laurel tonight.
defeating Dav Sullivan of New York In
th. eleventh round of a scheduled twenty
round contest. Corbett left th ring with
out ft mark while on th. other hand.
Sullivan received a terrific beating only
th. merciful aoUon of Refers Graney In
topping th contest saving th. New
Yorker from having hla fac beaten Into
Pulp. Sullivan Dut un a srama fla-ht.
and while out-boxed out-fought and out-
generaled he gave th champion cause
lor worry In ons round.
Another feature of tb. flght was Sul-
livan a gameness but th contest wu
never In doubt. Corbett had his man
during all stage ot the game and It wu
but a question of time when Sullivan
would have to quit. Th fourth round
nearly saw th. end of the contest and
only by Wtaklng of th full count on
four occasions did Sullivan manage to
full through. The main feature of th
Ight was th great amount of clinching
u. ti.iiuna. iney nung together ior a
mlnut. at a time. Corbett proved him-
self very much Sulltvan'a superior In that
style of fighting and seemed to punch
harder rom a short dlitanoe.
After the disastrous fourth round Sul-
livan's ability to oome op m th. succeed-
ing rounds wu a surprise. He seemed
to have taken a new. lease on life but It
was only a flash In the pan and did not
prove of any benefit to him. u K. re-
ceived more punishment without any
chance of ultimate success.
Th. contest on th. who) was on.
lded. Jimmy Brltt wu an interested
spectator at th. ringside and figuring on
his chances to beat the featherweight
champion. The general opinion of sport-
ing men Is that Corbett will be the fa-
vorite In the betting and that Brltt
whll. giving blm a great fight will not
prove to be the wlriner. '
Sullivan's seconds were Spider Kelly
Frank McDonald and Jimmy Barry. Cor-
bett wu seconded by Tim McGrath.
George Weldon Billy Ott and Billy
Roche. Corbett received a popular dem-
onstration. Sullivan was well received.
A challenge from Johnny Burns of New
York was received and read u was also
one from Spider Welch a local pugilist.
Kid Herman of Chicago wu also there
with a challenge.
